Asters are the glory of the garden in August and September, 
just when good flowers for cutting and garden display are wanted 
in masses. They are greatly different from other summer bloom¬ 
ing plants in their color effect, for no harsh red or yellow shades 
are found among them. There is an immense number of different 
types of Asters, in all of which similar colors have been produced. 
From time to time we add such of these newer types as have 
proved meritorious, discarding older Asters which no longer com¬ 
pete with these new developments. 
During the past few years Aster growers have worked toward 
true wilt-resistant strains, and while they cannot yet claim per¬ 
fection, the results have shown great improvement in this direc¬ 
tion. 
GIANT COMET ASTERS 
Elegant flowers resembling the finest Japanese Chrysanthemums. As bor¬ 
der subjects these Asters make a brilliant display, and are particularly valu¬ 
able as cut flowers for bold decoration in large vases. Height 18 inches.

SUTTON’S SOUTHCOTE BEAUTY ASTERS 
A fine race of branching habit which may be described as a giant Single 
Ostrich Plume Aster, and it has become exceedingly popular. The flowers 
have long, perfectly formed petals, but the golden yellow centers are com¬ 
paratively small. They are carried on long, stiff stems from 12 to 20 inches 
in length. White, pink, scarlet, mauve, and purple are now saved sepa¬ 
rately, and the mixed seed includes other beautiful colors. Sutton's South- 
cote Beauty is of great value as a border plant, attaining a height of 2 to 
2 y 2 feet, and is probably unrivalled by any other Aster for cutting and 
house decoration.

BROWALLIA 
1076. Speciosa major , Per packet 41c 
Valuable perpetual flowering greenhouse perennial, neat in habit, and of 
the easiest possible culture, producing numerous large bright blue flowers, 
relieved by a white throat. They are exceptionally valuable in the garden, 
blooming all summer and retaining their neat appearance. Do well in sun 
or light shade. Height 2 feet. 
BEGONIA Double Varieties, Tuberous-Rooted 
From seed sown in February or March, and with generous treatment, 
plants may be flowered within 6 months. Prick off the seedlings into pans 
or small pots as fast as they become large enough, shifting on to larger 
pots as growth requires. 
Double Begonias, besides being most useful throughout many months of 
the year under glass, make invaluable summer bedding plants owing to 
their sturdy free-flowering habit. 
961. Sutton’s Double Mixed Per packet 41c 
Our mixed strain includes many charming intermediate shades which can¬ 
not be "fixed" separately. 
Single Varieties, Tuberous-Rooted 
Notwithstanding that Double Begonias have come prominently to the 
front in recent years the Single varieties retain their popularity for bedding 
and conservatory decoration. Particularly attractive are the Frilled and 
Crested varieties, the flowers of which are very lovely both in form and 
coloring. The seed may be sown as advised under Double Begonia. 
1011. Sutton’s Frilled Mixed Per packet 41c 
Flowers erect and delightfully frilled; chiefly delicate shades. 
971. Sutton’s Prize Single Mixed. Per packet 41c

SUTTON’S SPECIALTIES IN ASTERS 
758. Sutton’s Amethyst Per packet 41c 
A very handsome globular flower of the Peony or incurved-petalled type, 
which makes an agreeable change from the feathery heads of the Ostrich 
Plume class. In color this varety is a delicate silvery lilac, and it should 
be largely grown for its extremely long lasting qualities both in the border 
and as a cut flower. Height 18 inches. 
755. Sutton’s Scarlet King Per packet 41 c 
A most brilliant color and a distinct advance on all other scarlet Asters. 
In shape the flowers are intermediate between the Victoria and the in¬ 
curved Giant French, and are freely produced on plants of erect habit. 
Height 18 inches. 
767. Sutton’s Meteor Per packet 41c 
Magnificent Comet Aster of surpassing beauty; large, massive flowers of 
a dazzling cinnabar-carmine. For brilliancy of color this variety is in¬ 
comparable. Height 1 5 inches. 
776. Sutton’s Shell-Pink Per packet 41c 
A real giant, similar in habit to the California Giant Aster, but with still 
larger flowers, produced somewhat earlier. Apart form its value in the 
garden, our Shell-Pink is one of the most decorative varieties when cut, 
the pink petals being attractively curled and interlaced, and the blooms 
borne on extra long stems. Height 2 to 3 feet. 
BALSAM 
Balsams are excellent for conservatory decoration, and they are also 
freely used as border plants and for bedding. Considering the fleshy nature 
of the stems, it is surprising how well these flowers endure dry seasons and 
severe storms. 
928. Improved Rose-Flowered, Mixed Per packet 29c 
Handsome double flowers, in form resembling a Rose. Height 18 inches.
